Keep Cycling This Winter: Indoor Sessions in York

Over the winter months, we are running indoor cycling sessions in York. These sessions are designed to make trying a cycle easier, calmer, and more comfortable, especially when the weather is cold or unpredictable.

Indoor sessions give people the chance to explore cycling without traffic, rain, or pressure. They are particularly helpful for children, disabled people, and anyone who may find busy outdoor spaces overwhelming.

What are indoor cycling sessions?

Our free indoor sessions take place inside a large, accessible space. You can:

Try different types of cycles, including trikes, tandems, and adapted bikes
Take your time and go at your own pace
Stop, start, and rest whenever you need
Ask questions and get support from our experienced team

There is no expectation to ride for long periods. Some people ride for a few minutes, others stay much longer. Both are absolutely fine.

When and where?

Every Tuesday until 10 March (except 17 February for half term)
Two sessions each day: 12:30–1:15 and 1:15–2:00
Location: Burnholme Sports Centre, YO31 0HA

This schedule gives flexibility to choose a time that works best for you. to be confident on a bike, and you do not need to know what type of cycle might work for you.

A calmer way to try cycling

We know that visiting a busy bike shop or riding outdoors can sometimes feel like too much. Indoor sessions remove many of those barriers. The environment is more predictable, with fewer distractions, less noise, and no traffic.

This can make it easier to focus on how a cycle feels and whether it could work for you or your child.

Thinking about a cycle loan?

If you are interested in one of our Pathways to Pedals cycle loans, indoor sessions are a great first step. They give you time to try a cycle before deciding what feels right.

There is no pressure to sign up or make a decision on the day.

We look forward to welcoming you this winter.
